Well, it is down to hypercarrying if you can't trust anyone else on your team to be competent. 

From the sound of things you had teammates who knew how to leverage vision control and pressure objectives. In solo queue that's often all it takes.

Let's be honest, unless you're with friends, can you ever?

I don't think I like the new SR. It's very cartoony--Mecha Malphite looks at home in this place.

The nexuses look sweet though.

The whole map seems too light (as in weight) and flat... I'd really like more definition in everything ;S

The issue here is that everyone on your team is thinking the same thing.  The reason teams are so fucked up is that all five players are convinced that they're the only one that's any good.  What makes you or me more correct in that assumption than any of them?

Unfortunately, that's the point. They felt the old map didn't have enough contrast between itself and the things on it, so they decided to remake it to be absolutely crystal clear what's terrain and what's things on the terrain.

Naturally, that's going to leave a certain aesthetic disconnect.

Eh, Riot's getting really big on disconnect between gameplay and everything else recently, which I think is a good thing. Gameplay is king, and they seem to be gunning for that now.

So, the Cass rework. I really hate the VU, it looks completely at odds with most everything else in the game.

OTOH, I'm surprisingly pleased with the mechanical rework. It played really smoothly, and my first game with it, I ended up stomping my Yas lane opponent and having a perfect game. The damage is super-nasty, I was chunking the guy for 10-12% with a single Q+E when all I had was a tear and one doran's.

Of course, part of that might just be the stack-addict in me speaking. But yeah, having that much power potential frontloaded into your passive instead of depending on performance in lane transitioning into items? It feels really good. Cass, just from initial impressions, is now almost totally about your mechanical ability rather than how well you do vs. your opponent as long as you aren't being camped so badly that you can't get stacks. I hit 400 well before they were able to FF, though admittedly that was in a lane I won.

POPPY?

[Frumple]

That was beautiful.

[frostshotgg]

That means she's getting nerfed. And I quote from Morello:

Well, there are two choices; I'm OK with both to some extent;

* Rework Poppy and make her a real pick in League, balance appropriately.

* Don't rework Poppy, and never ever buff her, and nerf her if she ever sees play.

The former is a long ways off. Which means the latter has to happen.

[Sharp]

To be fair they didn't play well vs the [redacted]

Poppy is super weak in the early game so if you can deny farm then it's great as she is one of the hardest champs to last hit with under tower, Millennium spent too long in jungle letting the Poppy free farm and Mundo is terrible vs Poppy as he can't really deny farm early and Poppy trades quite well against him. That was still great Poppy play though and great use of ghost and tp

Morello you make me sad.
